- 5 years ago
Former prime minister and potential presidential candidate Hwang Kyo-ahn has joined the main opposition Liberty Korea Party.
There's growing speculation Hwang may run for the party's leadership next month -- something he will likely make clear during a press conference this morning.
On Facebook on Sunday,... Hwang vowed to make every effort to reform and innovate the conservative party,... and promised to put the country and people first.
Hwang, who served as acting president when former President Park Geun-hye was suspended from office between late 2016 and May 2017,... is the preferred opposition candidate for the 2022 presidential elections, according to polls.
But there are concerns he could taint the party's image given that he played a major role in the Park administration,... while he also faces the task of expanding his support-base beyond the pro-Park faction within the party.
